Amit Kumar tried to make 'good use' of the huge amount of money that he was carrying — by attempting to bribe the Nepal Police team which came to arrest him from the Sauraha-based Hotel Wildlife Camp on Thursday.

BRIBING THE COPS: The Inspector who arrested Dr Amit Kumar from the hotel says the doctor tried to bribe him with lakhs of rupees.

A Kathmandu-based newspaper said the tainted doctor was pleading with the police not to arrest him.

Police had seized a bank draft for Rs 9,36,000 and Euro 145,000 and $18,900 in cash from him during his arrest. Witnesses said that Kumar was sporting a hat and sunglasses to conceal his identity.

Amit Kumar, against whom an Interpol Red Corner Notice was issued after the massive racket with inter-state and international ramifications came to light on January 24, was brought to the Nepalese capital for interrogation on Friday.
